The show opened up with a clip in memory of Mr. Perfect, Curt Hennig who passed away today. After that, a video package played, hyping up the events of tonight because tonight could be the end of the career of Eric Bischoff!
The fireworks went off in the arena as the crowd roared for the start of WWE RAW on TNN!
Eric Bischoff's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the stage with a mic in hand. Eric said that he hasn't heard from Stone Cold Steve Austin and he doesn't know whether he's going to accept his invitation to make his return at No Way Out or not. Vince McMahon is on his way to this building as we speak and as far as Eric knows, when Vince gets here, Eric may be fired. Despite that, Eric wants everyone to know that whatever happens, he's done everything in his power to sign Steve Austin. He's reached out to him every possible way he could... called him, emailed him, phoned him and even went to his hometown in Texas to try to sign him and that's where he was surrounded by toothless rednecks, which is why he's so happy to come home to L.A. to be surrounded by his people.
Eric knows they appreciate all his hard work and he has their support and that's why he's there to ask him one thing. When Vince McMahon comes out here tonight, let him know the truth and let him know that they appreciate Eric's hard work and that they support him. The fans booed and Eric said that he's not asking for their support, he is telling them that they will support him! Again, the fans heavily booed the RAW General Manager.
Eric said that if that's the way it's going to be, then that's just fine because until Vince McMahon gets here, he's still the boss around here and he has the power to do whatever the hell he wants to do! With that, Eric walked over to Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler and stood behind them and taunted them. Eric told Ross to stand up and take this like a man. From Eric's perspective, it sounds like Ross has been encouraging Steve Austin to accept his invitation and he's lead the audience to believe that he's going to return at No Way Out. Ross said that he's hopeful that Austin will come back to RAW and everyone would like to see him. Eric said that since Ross is so supportive, he could have done a little more to make this happen, but he doesn't want to see Eric succeed here, does he? Not only could he have done a lot more by inserting himself in this process, but he's the very reason that Stone Cold Steve Austin hasn't signed. It's J.R.'s fault. Jim Ross asked Eric if he's ever stopped to think that Steve Austin hates his guts? Eric asked why he would say that and Ross pointed out that while Eric was running WCW, he fired Steve Austin and said that he would never amount to anything.
Eric said that Ross is right, he did fire Steve Austin because he deserved it and maybe Jim Ross deserves to be fired, too. Eric gave Ross an ultimatum and that's until such time that Ross delivers Stone Cold Steve Austin to Eric Bischoff, then read his lips... you're fired!
As Jim Ross got out of his seat and left, we cut to the backstage area where a limo was shown arriving...
Eric Bischoff ran up to the limo and opened the door and out came Triple H, Ric Flair, Dave Batista and Randy Orton, the Evolution. Triple H asked Eric how he's doing and then he asked him why he has a long face? Having a bad day or something? Expecting somebody else? Triple H laughed and then he and the rest of the crew went on their way as Eric just stood there.
-Test vs. Christian
Test and Stacy Keibler made their way out to the ring as Jerry "The King" Lawler was left alone at the commentators table. Test is scheduled for a one on one match against Christian.
Test went for a clothesline on Christian but Christian ducked it and gave Test a number of right hands until Test knocked Christian down with a huge clothesline.
As the match was going on, The Coach joined Jerry Lawler for commentary and he told Lawler that he was standing in the back and Bischoff told him to go out there because he's doing RAW tonight.
Christian gave Test a reverse DDT and then pinned him for a two count. Test then shoved Christian into the corner and charged at him but Christian lifted his foot into the face of Test to push him back.
Christian went for a cross body on Test but Test caught him and rolled through and then lifted him over his head and dropped him down to the mat. Test then went for the boot but Christian ducked it and then he went for the Test drive on Christian but Christian countered that, going for the Unprettier but Test hooked Christian in a full nelson slam to pick up the win!
Test celebrated his win with Stacy Keibler and Christian gave Test a low blow to knock him down and then knocked him down and then Christian then stalked Stacy until Jeff Hardy stormed to the ring and pulled Christian out of the ring. Hardy ran the security wall and jumped on Christian to knock him down on the outside and then he tossed him into the crowd. Jeff then walked backward, leaving as the fans cheered Jeff Hardy.
Jim Ross was shown backstage on the phone looking for Stone Cold Steve Austin and Howard Finkel was lurking around as Ross told the person to have Stone Cold call him on his cell phone because it's an emergency.
-Booker T vs. D'Lo Brown
Booker T's music hit in the arena and he made his way out, ready for singles action. Before the match, Booker T took the mic and said that everybody saw what happened last week so he's going to make this short and sweet. Tonight, he's going to dedicate this match to his friend, Goldie. Like he said, he and Goldie had... D'Lo Brown's music hit in the arena to interrupt Booker T and he made his way out, accompanied by Theodore Long.
Teddy got on the mic and told D'Lo to stand back and then he told Booker that he needs to stop worrying about Goldust. The electrocution of Goldust was the best thing that could ever happen to Booker. All Goldust is, is a little white man trying to keep the black man down. Look at tonight, the man has forced you to fight each other. Booker should be getting down with the brown and tagging with D'Lo!
With that, Booker laid into D'Lo Brown with a hard right hand to knock him down and then he backed him into the corner and unloaded on him with a number of right hands and chops!
Booker went for the scissors kick but D'Lo moved out of the way and knocked Booker down with a spinning heel kick.
Booker nailed D'Lo with a side kick and then he laid him out with the ax kick and then the pin to get the win.
Booker T did the spinaroonie in the center of the ring and the fans cheered him as D'Lo was down and out on the outside of the ring.
Sean Morley and Eric Bischoff were shown and Eric said that Vince is on his way here and Chris Jericho entered the room and brought up his situation with Test. Chris complained about having a match against him at No Way Out and Eric told Chris that he has a little more to deal with than Jericho's matches. Sean tried to calm Chris down and then Chris told Jeff Hardy needs to be taught a lesson with his running down to the ring and interrupting people's matches. Chief Morley told Chris that it would be he and Jeff Hardy tonight. Jericho thanked Morley and then he told Eric to give Mr. McMahon his regards.
-Jazz vs. Molly Holly
Jazz made her way out to the ring and she's making her return to the ring against Molly Holly.
Jazz and Molly locked it up in the center of the ring and Jazz got Molly in a side headlock and Molly got out of it and then Jazz took Molly down with a drop toe hold and then she put her in a front face lock and rolled into a pin for a two count.
Jazz gave Molly Holly a drop toe hold and put her in a modified surfboard submission and then rolled it into a back slide pin for a two count.
Jazz put Molly in the half crab and Molly crawled towards the ropes but Jazz pulled Molly towards the center of the ring and turned it into the STF to force Molly to tap out.
Jazz held onto the hold after the bell rang and she finally released it and then held her hands in the air as if she were some type of God or something. Jazz started to leave the ring but decided against it. Jazz lifted Molly up in a chicken wing and then dropped her down to the mat and put her back in the STF to add insult to injury.
Jim Ross was shown backstage and his phone rang and he answered it and it was Steve. Ross had a short and quick conversation with him and Howard walked over to Jim and asked him if Steve Austin is going to be here tonight, since he was talking to him? Ross explained to Howard that he wasn't talking to Stone Cold, he was talking to his friend Steve from Oklahoma and after that, he told Howard to mind his own business.
-Kane and Rob Van Dam vs. Three Minute Warning
Rob Van Dam's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring for a tag team match with his partner Kane against Rosey and Jamal, Three Minute Warning, who were accompanied to the ring by Rico.
Rob Van Dam started it off in the ring against Jamal and the fans heavily chanted for RVD as the two locked it up. Jamal gave RVD a body slam and then he went for a knee drop but RVD moved out of the way and then he swept the legs of Jamal to knock him down. RVD then gave Jamal a moonsault into a pin for a two count.
Kane went for a choke slam on Jamal but Rosey attacked him from behind to break it up. Rosey then whipped Kane off the ropes and Kane plowed through Jamal with a clothesline and then he made the tag to RVD.
Rob Van Dam came off the top rope with a kick to the chest of Jamal and then he hit him with the rolling thunder and pinned him for a two count as Rosey broke it up.
Kane gave Jamal the choke slam and then Rob Van Dam knocked Rosey down on the outside of the ring and then he went to the top rope and nailed Jamal with the Five Star Frog Splash as Kane knocked Rico down from the ring apron. RVD then pinned Jamal for the three count to get the win.
Rob Van Dam did his trademark posing and hoped that Kane would join in but Kane's signature pyro went off, to celebrate the win.
Jim Ross was shown on the phone, trying to get a hold of Stone Cold Steve Austin and a limo pulled up and it was Vince McMahon. Vince asked himself what Jim Ross is doing in the parking garage and then he went over to him as the show went to a commercial break.
In the arena, Vince McMahon's music hit and he made his way out with the Vince McMahon swagger and he means business!
Vince took the mic and said on occasion, a man of his distinction has to make some difficult decisions. Well tonight is not one of those occasions... no, this is going to be sweet because this is a joyous occasion and at this time, he would request the presence of one Eric Bischoff and Chief Morley.
Eric and Morley came out and Vince requested that they walked down to the ring. Eric grabbed a mic and started to say something but Vince told him to stuff it. Vince started with Mr. Morley... if he recalls, Vince stated that he would fire him if he didn't meet a certain criteria, therefore, he should be fired but he's not going to do that. He's changed his mind. As a matter a fact, he's going to let him choose his own fate and as a matter a fact, the next match in this ring will involve him. All he has to do is win his match to keep his job. Sean said that's fair enough and in one corner, we'll see Chief Morley and in the other corner in the very special Handicap Match, we'll see D-Von, Bubba Ray and Spike, the Dudley Brothers!
Vince then sent Morley on his way and it's time to deal with Bischoff. Eric tried to speak but was interrupted with a question... Has he signed Stone Cold for No Way Out? Eric started to tell Vince where he's at with that and Vince cut him off, asking for a yes or a no. Eric said he has all the papers in his hand and they're just waiting for... Vince cut him off again and said "Yes or no?" Eric answered no and Vince said that's the wrong answer. First off, why would he want to sign him? Vince hates his guts, but had he signed Austin, he would still have his job because Vince would thoroughly enjoy watching Eric attempting to control a foul mouth, beer swelling rattlesnake. Since he hasn't fulfilled his obligations either, he leaves Vince no other alternative... Eric cut him off and said that he'd do anything to save his job. He loves it here and despite what these people say, they love him being here! Before Vince says another word, there's something Eric would like him to have. He knows Vince McMahon is a man of action and out of goodwill, he wants to give him action... Hot Lesbian Action!
With that, two very good looking ladies made their way out to the ring and Eric asked them to give Mr. McMahon just a little taste of what's in store. The two ladies then started to rub against each other and Eric interrupted, telling Vince that they are not just lesbians but they are bisexual lesbians! Vince said with all due respect, there's a time and a place for everything and tonight, he's all business. So why not get out of his ring and on up the ramp??? The fans heavily booed as they got out of the ring and left. Vince asked Eric if he has any other gifts for him? Eric requested more time and Vince said that Eric has run out of the most precious commodity there is and that's time. Vince then gave it to Eric Bischoff, telling him that he's fired! Get out, goodbye and cya later!
Vince said that he feels so damn good about firing Eric Bischoff that he's going to sing him a song tonight! Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey goodbye! The fans rallied behind McMahon as he continued to sing and Bischoff left, gone, bye.
Vince was shown walking through the backstage area and Regal and Storm showed up and praised him on the wonderful job he did with Bischoff. Vince said that if you think that was brilliant, wait until they find out who is the new general manager of RAW, tonight!
-Sean Morley vs. The Dudley Boyz
Sean Morley came out to the ring and he's up against Bubba, D-Von and Spike Dudley in this Handicap match and if he can win this match, he'll keep his job, but if he loses, he's gone!
The Dudleys surrounded Sean and then Spike Dudley attacked him from behind by jumping on him and then knocking him into the corner.
Sean went for a back body drop on Spike but Bubba and D-Von caught him and then gave Sean a double team flap jack.
Bubba Ray gave Sean Morley a Samoan drop and then the Dudleys stood over him and decided what to do next and what they did was stomp the hell out of him all at the same time.
D-Von held onto Sean Morley on the outside of the ring and Bubba grabbed the steel steps and drove them into the head of Sean Morley.
Spike Dudley gave Sean Morley the Dudley Dog and then he got up and walked right into the 3D by Bubba and D-Von. Spike then pinned Morley for the three count to pick up the win.
After the match, the Dudleys hovered over Sean Morley and talked the trash and revenge has been sweet for the three brothers. The Dudleys then stopped and listened to the fans rallying for the tables and the Dudleys decided that it's table time for Sean Morley as Bubba Ray power bombed Sean Morley through a table from the second rope.
Eric Bischoff was shown backstage and he was face to face with Jim Ross and Eric asked Ross if he's even heard from Stone Cold? Ross said that he hasn't and Eric told Ross that he hopes he realizes that nothing that's happened was meant to be personal. He was just trying to do his job. Eric said that he doesn't know where he's going to end up, but regardless of that, can they be friends? Ross responded by asking Eric why he doesn't just go and clean out his desk?

Randy Orton stormed to the ring to make the save for his guys and then Triple H made his way out, limping on a crutch as Flair, Batista and Orton dominated Booker T. Triple H got in the ring and pounded on Booker T as Batista and Orton held him up. Steiner then stormed to the ring and took out Orton and Batista and then Triple H went to hit Steiner with his crutch but Steiner was aware and Triple H quickly slid out of the ring and then Steiner knocked Orton down and out with a clothesline.
Jeff Hardy was shown walking through the backstage area and he came across Shawn Michaels. The two locked at each other and Jeff nodded at HBK and then went on his way as HBK smiled.
Stacy Keibler was shown backstage with Test and Test seemed to be confused about what Jeff Hardy is doing? Stacy said she doesn't know, but she has more for Test's marketing plan. He's going to be doing some stuff with a company called GGW and it's going to be great exposure for him. Test said if it's great exposure, he's all for it.
Eric Bischoff was shown cleaning out his desk and the Dudleys showed up and Bubba showed him a belt. Eric told them that he has nothing but the utmost respect for all of them. So if they don't mind, he'll just ... Spike stopped Eric as he was about to leave and then the three Dudleys rallied together in singing the song, Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, goodbye!
-Jeff Hardy vs. Chris Jericho
Chris Jericho's music hit in the arena and he made his way out and he's up for a one on one match against Jeff Hardy.

Jeff Hardy went for a hurricanrana on Chris Jericho but Chris blocked it and turned it into the Walls of Jericho and Jeff attempted to get to the ropes but Jericho pulled him towards the center of the ring and Jeff finally tapped out, giving the win to Y2J.
Vince McMahon was shown in the backstage area and he came across Evolution and they looked to be leaving the arena and Flair said that they're going to party. Triple H told Vince might not know what to do with bisexual lesbians, but they do. Vince told them to hang around because he's going to go out right now and announce the new general manager of RAW and they'll also be interested to know that there's a tag team match that involves two of the four of them... Triple H and Batista against Booker T and Scott Steiner! Flair got pissed but Triple H calmed him down as Vince told them to enjoy their night.
As we return, Vince is in the ring, ready to get started. We fired one General Manager, and it's time to hire another. This man is qualified, fair, and someone who the fans should like. So here is the new General Manager of Raw...
Jim Ross starts walking out down the ramp, but Vince says it's not him. Bischoff soon follows, and Vince looks upset. JR tells Vince that he can confirm that Austin will be at No Way Out. And since Stone Cold is reinstated, that means JR is reinstated. JR goes up to take his rightful place at the announce booth.
Bischoff stays in the ring. Vince says he probably thinks that, since Austin is returning, he and Morley should get their jobs back. Well then, Vince gives Bischoff his job back as Raw General Manager.
Vince begins to leave, but then remembers that Bischoff said he would do anything to get his job back. Well then maybe Bischoff should join a club. Bischoff is going to join the Vince McMahon Kiss My Ass Club. Vince starts undoing his pants, as Bischoff looks on in disgust. Vince drops his pants and pulls down his underwear, with long, unnecessary shots of Vince's ass. Bischoff starts to bend down, but can't bring himself to do it. Bischoff gets a mic and says that he can't do it.
Vince puts his pants back on as Bischoff reiterates his inability to kiss Vince's ass. Vince says that if he won't join that club, there's a new one that he better join: the Get My Ass Kicked Club. Bischoff says that if that's what has to happen, he'll do it. Well then, at No Way Out, Eric Bischoff will have a match. And that match will be against... Stone Cold Steve Austin!
